摘要： “二重身”这一文学母题在澳大利亚现代主义文学巨匠帕特里克•怀特作品中的运用和发展尚未引起评论界的注意。怀特式的“二重身”给情感和直觉松绑，让读者看到了社会常规、理性抉择之外的天地。怀特通过“二重身”展现了小说人物对自我身份的审视和追索，他们在他者中找到了自我，自我就是他者。怀特小说中的“二重身”是现代语境下个体身份危机的一个隐喻。

Abstract: Patrick White has long been the focus of critical attention. Yet hardly any critics have touched upon the Doppelganger motif in the novels of Patrick White, not to mention an in-depth interpretation of the motif. Doppelganger works as a liberator of feeling and intuition in White’s novels, opening horizons beyond social patterns, rational decisions, and institutionally approved emotions. White presents the psychological deviations and explores the repression, anxiety, and fear in modern psyche. Doppelganger motif helps White to present his characters’ quest for self. Each of them finds a self in the other. Doppelganger in White’s novels is not so much about personal identity as about the lack of it. The divided self in his novels is a metaphor of the modern identity crisis.

Key words: Patrick White, Doppelganger, self, other
